So people are going nuts about Trump 'caving' So maybe a general strike and the shutdown of American commercial airspace *won't* be needed for now

The museum I cut my teeth at as an aviation historian in high school has an F-111A simulator it's currently restoring. Looks exactly like that, but with full motion hydraulics and whatnot. It's also simulates a nuclear-capable vark, which from what I understand is one-of-a-kind in 2019. I've sat in it, it's very cool. Thank you for coming along for my F-111 story

Unfortunately I think for actual legit security clearance reasons they can't get it operational but it'll be a display piece. They also have the last Martin 202 and the front half of a TWA paint pre production Convair 880 flown by Hughes (s/n 3)

bobfather posted:Bob, Tom, Joe, Sal, Liz, Amy, and Ed the flight controller all called in "sick" because they aren’t being paid. Oh don't misunderstand me, I don't doubt that is the case here, but ground stops happen all the loving time in LGA, so today it's that, and once people get paid and go back to work, it'll be something else the next day. Pointing to the ground stop as evidence that the shutdown is causing the sky to fall ignores the fact that the sky falls all the drat time, just this time it happens to be because of the shutdown. Now, what's really going to make me look up, is when all the diverts caused by the stop can't land at their alternates because there's no staff there either. That's when things really have gone to poo poo. Not that they aren't presently poo poo, it's just still regular poo poo level.

I posted about it a year ago but DoD got mad at all museums who they loaned pieces to and wanted them to hard weld every door and compartment shut so people couldn't get in them (they allegedly even included "you must modify civil war cannons to make sure the breach can never ever be opened" which sucks), so if that sim wasn't privately owned I imagine we'd have DoD suits all over the museum if they knew it was PAL capable  edit: enough talking about me and my work i get shy instead WHAT THE gently caress  https://twitter.com/JosephHDempsey/status/1089271495015235584 Spaced God fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jan 27, 2019 |

Some of my buddies and I had an inter-generational meeting with the Hawkeye guys, and I got a sweet picture of the retro CIC inside.  They pulled out all of the crypto gear and filled in the spaces with random spare panels (there are like four identical HF radio control panels), but I think it conveys the general feeling very accurately to the layman.

The memo from the DoD came down in I think late spring '18, and while we "soft-welded" a couple panels (there's no way we were going to loving weld 1/8th inch aviation grade aluminum) and don't let people in our OV-1, HH-52, and Cobra anymore, a ton of other museums just said "lol gently caress you" because there was no real reasoning or threat associated with it, and a ton more are fighting the DoD because why the gently caress would you need to seal off already de-milled poo poo?

Less wingtip vortex drag and shorter wingspans, I guess if anybody wants to one-up the A380 without having to redesign gates again
